Sometimes, a stadium is more than just a place where NFL games are held.
It’s an experience. It’s unique. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment for some.
That’s partially what C.J. Stroud is most pumped for when the Houston Texans touch down at Lambeau Field for a Week 7 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
“You dream as a kid to go play at this stadium and it’s a historical stadium,” Stroud said Wedensday. “A lot of great games played in there and to go for my first opportunity to be up there against a great team is going to be an honor and I can’t wait.”
Stroud agrees. While at Ohio State, he played at several infamous locations in the Big Ten, including Penn State’s Beaver Stadium and The Big House at the University of Michigan.
Lambeau Field has the same energy. It’s a safe haven for Wisconsinites who have rooted for the only fan-owned franchise for decades. They’ve seen ample stars lead their team to Super Bowl titles, including Bart Starr, Brett Favre and four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers.
Love, who guided Green Bay back to the postseason last year, looks to be next. That’s of course if he can slow down Stroud and the Texans first.
“Everybody understands the significance of Lambeau and how special that place is,” Ryans said.
Kickoff is scheduled for noon CT.
